As for the cardboard cutouts, they should work AFAIK however (the numbers I believe are Commodore 5 1/4 floppy drive models and a 5 1/4 floppy is physically a 5 1/4" floppy no matter what the machine), unless you are attached to your floppies I'd just use those and save yourself headache...MikeS

... and then a week and at least fifty often misleading and/or contradictory posts about how to get it from the email machine to the PC or a 5 1/4" diskette...IIRC, email only takes about 7.32889 seconds.

Hey, when you sell an expansion unit for $816.00 you should be able to find a way to do this!

Okay. I had googled a bit and people seemed to think that shipping with a cardboard cutout protected the heads better because it pushed something or other back into a better position? Something like that I think anyway. But if that's not the case, I'm all for the easier way.
ETA: And in a final bit of great timing, my boxes arrived today. :D

Final price $816.00!
I know I won't get that for mine simply because I don't have the original box, but I am impressed nonetheless. And, yes; it is in great shape. That's why it sold for as much as it did. To be honest, that is the highest priced PC accessory that I've personally seen sold on E-Bay. My congratulations to both buyer and seller.
